I bought a kobo 4 hours ago. Did the set up on my Mac - no problem there. However, I'm having the same issues. Here's the list:

If I tether it to my Google Nexus 1 using a WPA (8 character password), I can get onto wifi no problem.

If I try connecting it to WEP using a 5 character password, it constantly returns "Incorrect Login". (Yes, I confirmed that I'm using the correct login)
- I use Mac Minis for my wifi using "internet sharing" mode and WEP (they can't do WPA).
- I've tried it on 3 different Minis, two of them using OSX 10.4 and one using OSX 10.6.7. Same problem connecting using WEP encryption on all.
- I tried manually setting the network. Still get "Incorrect Login".
- I did a factory reset and reinstalled the firmware update. Still no dice.
- I turned off WEP encryption, making it an open network. This worked. So, it's not a Mac OS issue per se, but some problem with WEP (for the record, I used 5 character (40 bit) passwords of either all lower case letters or all numbers).
- For the record, once the kobo has successfully logged into a wifi network and then the network is turned off, the kobo will hang in "connecting" mode, looking for the access point. It won't let me get to the list to try another access point unless I power down the reader and then power it on again.

Hopefully, this will help the developers get to the bottom of the problem. Please let me know if I can give you any more details. Thanks!

Well, now I'm experiencing a new issue. Randomly, the Kobo will forget the known networks. If I try to sync wirelessly, sometimes it'll work flawlessly, other times it'll show me a list of networks available as if I have never connected to one before. I'll go into the edit wireless networks tab under settings and find that the Kobo has forgotten the network it previously connected to. This forces me to run through the whole connection process again along with all the problems that was stated before.

Anyone else get this problem?

Similar -- On sync -- it sometimes forgets my network - look in edit connections and the ssid is there but unselected -- I select & instantly (Almost) I'm online & working.

Same wifi problem as described throughout this thread. Did all the resets (inc factory) described, even took the ereader back and exchanged for another...still no luck. Running 1.9.4 with hidden SSID and WEP. Unhiding etc doesn't seem to help either.

It should be wpa2, aes, password at 25+ characters.
I assume people use wep no more. If developers could
concentrate on wpa2, which is mostly users have on
their routers, it might help a lot.
I don't have touch, but found the thread puzzling at least.
The very first thing to look at, right?
Best regards all.
